In this episode of Why Not Today?, host Leslie Kane welcomes Denise Gavilan, Executive Director of Kids Give Back. Denise shares how she transitioned from a corporate career to launching her own successful marketing business and later followed her passion by founding a nonprofit that teaches young children the value of volunteering.
Through Kids Give Back, Denise provides hands-on opportunities for kids as young as six to make a difference in their communities. From summer camps to service projects, she’s building a future generation of changemakers. Denise also shares her personal Why Not Today? moments and how stepping outside her comfort zone led her to create meaningful impact.
The “Why Not Today?” Podcast, hosted by Leslie Kane, celebrates everyday people who have dared to ask themselves, “Why not today?”—and taken bold steps toward their dreams. Inspired by her father, Patrick Kane, Leslie created this podcast as a heartfelt tribute and a beacon of encouragement for anyone ready to embrace courage, take action, and say yes to life’s possibilities.
Tune in, be inspired, and join the movement to live courageously—because sometimes, all it takes is one question to change everything.
